An unidentified male wearing a dark blue hoodie, light blue jeans and sandals walked into Smart and Final carrying a lighter and a small pump-spray bottle filled with gasoline. He approached the cashier and demanded money. The cashier didn't react right away so the suspect lit the lighter and sprayed two bursts of fire at the victim. The cashier was not injured by the flame but did open the cash drawer. The suspect grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash and fled. The suspect had the sweatshirt hood up and and the drawstring was pulled tight, only exposing his large nose.
